* Joined: President Guillermo Endara says he loves three things in this world: God, the Panamanian people and his new bride. Endara, 54, married Ana Mae Diaz, 23, Sunday in Panama City, Panama. Endara was installed during the U.S. overthrow of Manuel Antonio Noriega’s government. About 250 people waited in a heavy rain to throw rice at the newlyweds.

* Look-Alikes: Robert Bork, well known because of his unsuccessful bid for the U.S. Supreme Court, wishes people would stop calling him C. Everett Koop. Both Bork and the former U.S. surgeon general sport beards. Bork said Friday in Dallas that a woman came up to him in a store and said, “ ‘Sir, we are heeding your warnings.’ ” Bork asked: What warnings? “ ‘Well, you’re the surgeon general, aren’t you?’ ” Koop waged war against tobacco use while surgeon general. Bork was smoking a cigarette at the time.

* Out of the Past: Malcolm Forbes, the publishing millionaire who died earlier this year, has another book scheduled for publication. Simon & Schuster’s catalogue says “Women Who Made a Difference” will contain cameo biographies of 100 women “who changed their world, and ours, from Madame de Pompadour to Typhoid Mary.” The book is due in October.

* Parallels: The judge and the courtroom involved in the trial of Washington, D.C., Mayor Marion Barry have some things in common with another high-profile case--the Watergate burglary episode that toppled former President Richard Nixon in 1974. The former law firm of federal Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson once represented Nixon’s campaign re-election committee, which played a role in the scandal. Barry’s drug and perjury trial is being heard in the same courtroom used in the Watergate trials.
